Hope someone can shed some light. My GTi has difficulty starting. Battery ok, It cranks so starter ok but it takes a while of cranking before the engine fires. Even then it stutters initially as if it is starved of fuel but after that it`s ok until I shut the engine and try to start again. Changed the fuel filter already. Inclined to think its the fuel pump but engine has power whatever the revs. So could it be the throttle body and/or ISC unit? Though idle is stable it occasionally drops to abt 500rpm(a/c on) Most of the time it stays at 750 or so rpm. Your views? Thanks.

It happens both when starting cold and hot. Don't think it's a TPS or MAF sensor problem cause my check engine light doesn't come on and power is normal. I'm in klang valley. Previously my rpm was unusually low all the time so I had the inside of the throttle body sprayed And wiped with wd40 idle went back to normal. But the starting difficulty persisted. Was told good chance it's throttle body and/or ISC problem. However my idle doesn't fluctuate.
